Reminder: Every Location Needs its Own YoungStar Contract

Programs are reminded that each open location needs its own YoungStar Contract and receives its own YoungStar rating. If a program has existing locations open, and then opens a new location,the program is responsible for submitting a new YoungStar Contract each time a new location is opened. The YoungStar Contract should be submitted to the local YoungStar office.
